Good day everyone! Here is my last bow for this year, one that I built for a close friend of mine. He likes the Howard hill style bow so I closely replicated that design with some added extras.
66" NTN, 1-3/16 wide at fades, just under 1/2" wide at tips, 67# @ 28".
Bamboo backing with 3 heat treated hickory laminations and laminated cherry riser. The extras include a stained bamboo back, deer antler tips, a beaver tail strike plate and deer leather grip. The bow is has a tru-oil finish and X99 string.
The bow holds close to an inch of reflex with very little set. The bamboo/hickory combo seems to be a good one, the bow shoots great with very little recoil. This bow is one of the best I have built of this design so far.
Here are some pictures. Please excuse the outdoor shots, my wife was not home so I had to take them on my phone.
Cheers,
Taylor
